To allwhom it may concern a Be it knownnthat I, Low','- a-citi zen ofthe United States, residing at- Lon-.

' don, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-Liquid-Gontainers for Use with Garbage flans or the like, and Idoh'ereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inth'eart ticwhich itmake'and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in liquid containers made of cheapnon-meappertains to tallic "material, such as waterproof-pa er, and itis especially intended to :provi' e a suitable liquid containeradapted-- for use in connection with garbage cans, into which container.the garbage may-bedumped-and temporarily retained, and then thecontainer with its contents maybe takenout of the can, and put in thegarbage cart and the container consumed together with the garbage.

While especially adapted for as an auxiliary receptacle tobe used with agarbage can, the container may also be used to transport li uids,semi-liquids, or dry materials when desired, and may be made cheap"enough to be destroyed after a single use:

My invention will be understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings in which v Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly section, ofan ordinary garbage can showing the paper liquid container mountedtherein; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of'the liquid container whenremoved from the garbage. can; Fig. 3 shows the auxiliary;

, Referring first to Fig. 1-, Arepresentsa garbage can ofany suitable oireferred" construct on, having the cover.

a B represents a paper. containerflwhich 'is constructed as shown, andis provided' with a supportingbottom' came of a 'piece' at A andthepaper, or cardboard, or the like,preferablyf rectangular in crosssection, to whichis attached the; cord 'D.- This cord is rove th'i'ou hthe bottom piece-Qand' preferably also t roughflthe fo dedportibn of there-' cepta'cl'e, as'hbvtn 'in .1" and thus the piece G: serves as abottom sup ortandthe cords D. as handles" for supporting the paperreceptacle.

The paper receptacle is preferably made out of a single square sheetofswii'ter pro'of paper'E, such as shown in Fig. 4. It is first i foldedalong the diagonal line-5-5 as shown in Fig- 5, the flap e is nextfolded along the line 66 of Fig. 5, the parts being then in the shapeshown in Fig. 6, and then the flap e is folded backward along staples fwhich may be applied with the well 'known stapling machines, and push upthe bottom of the folded sheet to the position the line 77 p in anyconvenient way, preferably by the shown in 13-13, leaving the feete.-Now insert the bottom piece C, reeve the cords through the reinforcedportions of the container, caused by the folding of the fiapse and 0",fold the feet e over the bottom side of the bottom piece C, and thedevice is I ready for-use. y 7 In the form of device shown in Figs. 9-and 10, the device is folded in the same way,

cords D are omitted. In this form of deexcept that the bottom piece Gand the vice the flaps e and 6" may or may not be folded over, and maybe used as ears to lift blank used in the device shown in Figs. 1

and 2,except as to the necessity for folding the flaps e and e asaforesaid. The folded portions are preferably secured in place by thestaples f similar to those already described.

a It will be obvious that either form of device may be convenientlyinserted in and removed from the garbage can and placedon the garbagecart, and that the said device may be burned up along with the rest ofthe garbage, or otherwise disposed of.

It will be noted that this particular container may be transported inthe flat or folded condition and expanded ready for use; and that itfurnishes an especially desirable bucket for camp use, which may be usedin camp for carrying water, or for other purposes. It may beconveniently transported from place to place, and may be destroyed, orthrown away, when no longer needed. a v

It will thus be seen that I provide an extremely cheap, light, andefiicient liquid container made of non-metallic material, which may beconveniently stored in a very small place, may be convenientlytransported, and may be used for a limited time, and then destroyedwithout appreciable loss.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States is 1. A container for liquids madeof a single sheet of water-proof paper folded diagowater-proof paperfolded diagonally and having the flaps projecting at each end of thediagonal folded in reverse directlons.

and on opposite sides of the container body, these two flaps beingsecured to said body, and having the remaining two flaps folded inreverse directions to form reinforcements at the top of the sides of thecontainer, an

auxiliary supporting member placed beneath said bottom, and cords rovethrough said auxiliary supporting member and through the reinforcedupper portion of said receptacle, substantially as described.

Intestimony whereof, I afix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
